Calling All Businesswomen

Little more than a year ago, two NY-based professionals decided they’d had enough of the lack of handbags for professional businesswomen. Identifying that options were limited with little variation in style, a business idea was formed - GT&CL was born. Genie Tang and Cindy Lam’s hand bag and accessorise line primarily focuses on exclusive structured handbags for businesswomen.

The "brief bag", known as their signature piece, embraces timeless design. Realizing that many women carry their bags on the forearm, their bag's center-strap design allows the bag to sit comfortably on the forearm with the bag facing forward without twisting. Inspired by traditional briefcases, the bag features a combination lock in the centre, giving the brief bag a classy yet sophisticated look. The inside compartments, well-designed with professionals in mind, are finished with pockets for cell phones, filofaxes, and separate documents.
